MonkeyBusiness Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks all! I understand it now. Going into shootouts really help the goalies on there GAA. Although I must admit it is a strange formula and does not help goalies that win in 60 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyBusiness Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hey all, I wanted thank you for explaining the GAA for me. I think used it pretty well in a post I replied to. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I don't pay much attention to GAA anyway. Being on a team that has horrible defense and has 40 shots against each game will always spike a goalie's GAA, no matter how good he is. When I'm assessing how good a goalie is playing, I pretty much solely look at save %. And even that can be skewed a little based on the quality of shots he has against him.

goalie13 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 If a goalie is pulled for an extra attacker on a delayed penalty like this (and hypothetically it's a 0-0 game), and a goal like this is scored, does he end up with a shutout? 0 GAA and no shutout? 1 GAA and no shutout?

Quoted Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Always bear in mind that the GAA is not always the best measure of a goalie's performance (esp. over short period of time) as the team might be giving up a lot of quality scoring chances (and of course, the opposite is true as well).
